Progressive Art - Artwork in Progress

Art is often an open platform for freedom of speech, even in societies where that freedom is restricted. This makes art an effective tool for exposing social issues.
For artists from different areas and cultures all over the world, this is the beginning of a new direction in communicative art working as group in art exchange.
The aim is to encourage more communication, respect, and acceptance by bringing all cultures together, through different works of artistic expression and character.
Artistic expression is giving self respect and belief in the future.

biographical notes

Barbara Streiff's work reflects all cultures, all religions, and all time.
Born on 1 August 1955 in Lucerne - the heart of Switzerland – Barbara Streiff spent her childhood in the Swiss Alps in the Linth Valley of Glarus. From her first contact with art at age seven, she began learning traditional art techniques from her family and older artists.
Later she studied art at l' École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, the School of Art and Design Zurich, and the Centre of Cultural Heritage in Cyprus, where she also taught. Travels relating to her work and exhibitions have taken her throughout Europe and the world – from Asia to the Arabic states, from California to Africa, and most recently from Cyprus to Brazil.
Barbara Streiff's primal geometry art not only reflects the profound meld of nature and human cultures worldwide, but each piece also symbolizes her own personal passion:
To further the evolution and transformation of traditional art
into innovative and modern forms
by communicating with artists all over the world
without forgetting the forests of the Swiss Alps.
